Zelenskyy Renews for Putin’s meeting with looming on the horizon of the latest peace conversations – my country star-news.press/wp

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski renewed his offer to meet with Vladimir Putin and negotiate the end of the war in Ukraine, but the hopes of progress were low as delegations were ready to hold another round of talks.

Meanwhile, Russian forces bombed four Ukrainian cities in night attacks, the officials said that a child was killed.

Putin has rejected Zelinski’s previous offers for a face -to -face meeting to end the largest conflict in Europe since World War II. But the Ukrainian leader insists that the minimum delegations such as the expected talks in Istanbul on Wednesday do not have the political thick to stop the fighting. The aspects remain far from how to end the war that Russia’s invasion began widely on February 24, 202.

“Ukraine has never wanted this war, Russia, which must end the war that started itself,” Zelinski said in a telegram.

“A lot of work should be done before a detailed discussion about the possibility of high -level meetings,” said Dmitry Peskov, spokesman Dmitry Peskov. It did not make an appointment for Istanbul talks.

Ukrainian and Western officials accused the Kremlin of the situation in talks in order for its largest army to take more Ukrainian lands. Russia currently has about 20 percent of Ukraine.

Zelenskyy announcement late on Monday that negotiations will not take place with little hope of progress. This is despite the Trump administration’s efforts to push peace efforts forward, which slowly moved because Putin is hesitating to budge from his demands.

“We have no reason to expect any magic breakthroughs, as this is barely possible in the current situation,” Peskov said.

The previous two rounds were held in Istanbul, and Russian media reports reported that the Turkish city is likely to host the meeting this time. The talks in May and June resulted in a series of exchanging prisoners of war and the bodies of the fallen soldiers, but they did not raise any other agreements.

Meanwhile, Russia is leading the diligence of penetration at the East and North Eastern points on the front line of 1000 km (620 miles). It also launches more than 700 drones on a night in Ukrainian cities.

Zelinski said that in the following Istanbul talks, Ukraine wants to secure the launch of more prisoners from Russian families and the return of children that Ukraine says was kidnapped.

The Ukrainian delegation is headed by former Defense Minister Rostam Omrov, and is now the Secretary of the National Security Council and Defense in Ukraine. Zelinski said that it would include representatives of Ukrainian intelligence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the President’s Office.

“The issue of the Ukrainian settlement is so complex that even reaching agreements on the exchange of prisoners or the return of the bodies has already achieved success,” Peskov said.
